Operation in NX9 analogous to the Instance Geometry From-To in NX8.5
Operation in NX9 analogous to the Instance Geometry From-To in NX8.5
(OP)
Greetings all!
In NX8.5 (and some versions prior) we used to have Instance Geometry tool which could be used in the From-To mode, which was marvellous when used with CSYS's. It was very robust and requried few mouse clicks.
What new tool in NX9 is analogous to this operation? I was able to produce similar results using Pattern Feature and Pattern Geometry, but it required a lot more mouse clicks and was a bit counter-intuitive - at least at first glance. Did I get it right, and these tools when used this way are really supposed to be the replacement for the old Instance Geometry From-To mode? Or maybe I'm overlooking some simplier way to accomplish the task?
